Lately have been having some random connection issues. I've been able to loosly tie it with a change in locale. I used to live in Boston (where I bought the phone and had it provisioned). Whenever I've travelled outside of the area, these random problems happen.
1. Opera Browser works fine, IE won't work. When I go to a website, it connects, but then just immediately stops loading and the page is blank
2. Other applications that leverage the data connection fail randomly. LiveSearch works, but another traffic app that I use doesn't.
Anyone having similair issues?

I've been using my Hermes and now my Kaiser on my T-Mobile Web'n'Walk connection (same SIM). I have the GPRS connection on all the time, and push email working, but randomly (sometimes after a short time, sometimes after a few hours) the connection seems to be dead.
The G indicates that it's still connected, vxUtil pings to www.google.co.uk works, but nothing else works (syncing, web browsing, etc). This is really strange and turning the connection off/on doesn't fix it - I have to actually put it in flight mode and re-enable the phone (which gets irritating quickly).
Has anyone else encountered this problem?
Just want to add that IE shows "Locating..." (which I assume is the DNS lookup) and then "Opening..." and just gets stuck there... while ActiveSync just keeps spinning forever and gives up after a while. Ping still works.

It doesn't seem to be related to reception... I could be sitting at my desk with full reception and it would just stop working randomly. If there's low reception I would expect the connection to re-establish itself after I get better reception.
The most weird thing is that PING works but not the actual data transfers.
I've had this problem with my Vodaphone 1615. I work in a rural area and cannot get above 2 bars in my office. I have used Kaiser Tweaks to change the registry so that the connection drops when it isn't being used. This isn't ideal as it takes a few seconds to reconnect every time I want to use the data connection but at least it doesn't hang. Before I was soft-resetting to reset the connection which takes a lot longer.

I have exactly the same problem with my intenet connection when i use PocketCM Keyboard!
Without PocketCM Keyboard the Intenet Connection works very fine.
Are you use PocketCm Keyboard?

Hmm interesting, but I don't have PocketCM keyboard, and I've never installed it before!
i have the same issue with t-mobile. (uk)
very annoying when using gps tracking software. i think i had it with my last win mob phone so it's not kaiser specific.

I've had it on my Hermes and now my Kaiser. I'm wondering whether it's a T-Mobile specific problem?
certainly seems like it could be our network.
I have the same issue with T-Mobile NL.
After a 1 hour connection the connection stops and must be restarted.
Sometimes I must even do this by stopping and starting the Phone in CommManager.
Not sure if this is related but i have had a few messages pop up saying that i need to end the current call to connect to the internet (something like that).
The strange thing is, no call was in progress. Weird.
I've seen a similar problem, I think. I'm soo new to the this data on the move milarky (I'd probably still be on dial up if I wasn't such a game nut) that I wasn't sure if it was human error, but sometimes the icon would show E with the arrows and neither explorer or google maps mobile would seem to be to connect. A soft reset would resolve the problem.
I'm on O2 btw.
same problem here
I've noticed the same problem when i'm on a bus or a car, listening to streaming radio or using google maps. connection hangs every 20-30 min. but I still can see the "E" with four bars. Sometimes it appears to happen when I receive an e-mail or SMS
It happens also when i'm not moving, but it' less common
Do you think this is a netwok thing? It's very annoying for me to disconnect-reconnect while on the road...
thanks
I installed the 10.6.34.800 build of messenger. Im using 3 network in UK. installed WLM and the Indentify as N95 cab. used to connect fast and reliable.
lately its been pain in the a$$ to connect, it connects to HSDPA, the 3g icon changes to H but then that damn busy icon just spins until it timesout.
I flash new roms on it all the time, so always installing WLM and apps. the first few times after flashing are fine, then it grinds to a halt.
I wonder if there is some file created thats jamming it or some cache file ?
other apps work fine. IE, beyondfeed, google maps,
i would blame the 3 network, but Ive installed IM+ and it connects first time, everytime to msn network, so now Im blaming this $hit WLM. When its in this mood, it wont sync either. sticks at checking internet connectivity , after it goes to H.
has anyone having / had the same carry on ?
TIA
Happens to me too. It always seems to work really well after installing it but then fades.
i had problems with live messenger also, couldn't sync or retrieve my emails, i contacted ms support and they told me that this happens sometimes for no reason. it will work perfectly for a while then nothing. i was told to sign out and then sign back in. doing this works everytime for me.
Have you tried BeeJive? http://www.beejive.com/wm6/
3 sometimes block Live Messenger, depending on what tariff or contract you have at the time. For example if you buy the £5 Internet Browsing bundle, as part of the terms of the bundle Live Messenger is blocked. I've found some of the third party softwares have the same problem with working for awhile then breaking.
A way round the problem is to setup a proxy on your home PC, but this isn't really ideal unless anyone knows of a way of proxying Live Messenger only and not Internet Explorer.
thnx, I tried only WLM and IM+ . I'll stick with IM+ until I change to O2 or find an answer. When it played up again today, I disconnected data in comm manager and put on wi-fi. It connected in seconds on wi-fi, then when I put off wi-fi and 3g back on, it connected again instantly.
its back again to sticking this evening. IM+ works ok on w-fi and 3g, WLM connects on wi-fi only unless I get lucky and keep playing about with comm manager by disabling/ enabling data and wi-fi.
i am on 3 payg for £5 a month, so it could be part of the problem. I know, before, it point blank refused to connect on 3 until I used the Identify as N95 cab.
would love to know what's causing it.
That's the problem that's been reported in other forums/posts, if you stick an orange sim in or use Wi-FI the Live Messenger works without fail (well, almost) but as soon as you use the Three sim it keeps playing up.
The fact that you can connect via Wi-Fi, disconnect and connect straight away via GPRS/3G makes it seem like all they do is block the DNS from resolving? If so it'll be a stupidly easy fix. I've heard it's some setting in the SIM that Live Messenger looks for though, which would be much harder to break.
I've tried several radios and none of them have fixed the problem. Even when I have full bars in an HSDPA area, the first time I connect using Facebook or Opera or try to update weather or check my email, the icon shows I'm connected but apparently I'm not because I'm unable to download data. If I disconnect and then reconnect, it works perfectly the second time. If I keep it connected, it continues to work without a hiccup. I only have the problem when I connect for the first time after a few hours of being disconnected. I don't leave it connected all the time because it torches my battery. This quirk seems weird to me. I hope somebody has experienced this and can help me fix it.
I'm on AT&T and have the Tilt.
I have had this problem in certain areas. Near Dulles, VA, Greenville, SC, and a few other semi-major towns. I have no clue why it does this. I usually end up turning off 3G and going GSM only. Then I don't have that issue. Granted I loose the high speed connection, but it just has so much trouble in those areas. I have even tried multiple radios to no avail.
proxy server
If you have ATT, you need to remove the hidden proxy after disconnecting your data connection, then start an internet accessing program. The cab can be found under your windows directory.
My friend and I both have N1's there are times that his radio bars are green and sometimes gray. I have not seen this with mine yet (just got it today). I only have seen gray. What would these color differences indicate?

yeah green = connected to google servers.
grey = disconnected from google servers.
Thanks Guys
Wanted to bump this. I am having this same issue, and my bars go from green to white especially after unlocking from standby. When they are white, I can't connect to anything even though I am connected to wifi at home? This issue is REALLY annoying. Anyone else dealing with this or know of a fix? Sometimes it randomly changes while I am using it. The only way to get it to go back to green is signing into google talk, which sometimes takes 3-4 tries with server connection errors in between. When I am at home I have little to no internet connection via cell, and gprs is all I can connect to, which is why I use the wifi at home. I just don't understand why I can't use the internet if the google server is not connected, and why it drops the google server connection constantly. I should be able to use wifi for browsing apps even if its not connected to google???? Or am I wrong. Please help.
Thanks
(I am running stock, and the phone is not rooted btw..thanks)

try changing your wifi sleep policy to never...
settings--> wifi or whatever--> press menu --> sleep policy --> never
that SHOULD fix it when you're at home... outside i don't know since i dont use data.
cheers!
You're mixing cause and outcome. Your WiFi doesn't work at home, or your phone doesn't want to work with your home WiFi - that's the reason you can't connect to internet, and that's also the reason why you're seeing grey bars.
I have started having this problem this week too. My WiFi is fine. The browser connects and loads pages fine. My connections are now always grey/white instead of green regardless if I'm on WiFi or 3G/2G. All Google services do not work. I am not receiving push emails nor can I force sync in the Gmail app. I've tried to connect by opening up Google Talk but it closes right away. My WiFi sleep policy is already set to never.
My phone is running stock 2.3.4, unrooted.
Hi, all, I'm having an issue with Wifi connectivity that presents itself mostly in Play Store and sometimes during browsing with stock browser.
Quite often when trying to install something from the Store, the moment i hit Install button, screen pauses for a few seconds, wifi strength indicator drops one bar and there's a notification that the connection was lost. Stock browser also loses conection and requires reloading, latest Opera does not (at least, I didn't experience it). This happens very frequently and multiple times in a row, especially installing from PS where I have to wait for the notification to show up, then hit back button and try to install again, sometimes several times before it succeeds. Also, I've downloaded Firefox, same problems as with stock browser.
I'm on official V20a 4.1.2, Play Store is v4.1.10, fewer than 15 apps installed and not all require data connection. Option to keep wifi connection active when screen goes off is enabled. I have an 802.11g router about 1 meter (3 ft) from the phone and the signal registers as strong (full 56 mbps). Abolutely nothing and no-one else is utilizing the connection at times. My other desktop PC via ethernet cable and my other wifi phone have none of these problems and the line was tested several times.
Even though I did spend few days with official V10 ICS 4.0.3, I don't recall having any of these problems.
Also, wifi indicator in the notification area dissappears after a period of innactivity, but power toggles show the wifi is turned on. Is this normal (this is my first long-term android phone, I'm not that familiar with the OS)?
Is there a solution that doesn't require downgrading to ICS or custom ROMs?
A side-quiestion: how to update play store part from downloadig .apk from some webpage? Is there an autoupdate option somewhere?
After some tinkering with router options, I no longer seem to experience the described problems. I believe that lowering the DTIM value resolved the issues.
